On the other side, in Peicheng at this moment, Jiang Feng was near the North City Gate, directing the troops to set traps. Seeing that the sky was bright, Jiang Feng had already guessed that the Xia Breaking Alliance Army should have arrived in Qining City.

If nothing else, the Sky Breaker Coalition will continue its march towards Peicheng after a short break.

In addition to Jiang Feng arranging the city defense of the north gate, Lu Bingfeng and Hongli were also very busy, even busier than Jiang Feng.

Lu Bingfeng and Hongli were organizing hundreds of thousands of laborers to dig out the moat that surrounded the entire city, but after a night of hard work, only a ravine 5 meters deep and 10 meters wide was dug between the north gate and the east gate, which Lu Bingfeng was able to do from time to time with the help of his abilities. And Hongli is also very hard, he needs to use his ability from time to time to divert water from a distant lake into a ravine.

I have to say that the area of Peicheng is really too big, even larger than the Imperial Palace.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, in Qining City, Sima Yi urgently convened a military meeting.

Breaking Sky made it to the conference hall very reluctantly, and his eyes were not fully opened, because he had only slept for an hour. Not only did he break the sky, but the other generals didn't sleep enough.

The 200,000 army rushed to Qining City overnight, and it was supposed to rest for a few hours, but it turned out to be only an hour, so why did they have to have a meeting again?

"What's going on?" Breaking Sky grumbled.

"Our whereabouts may have been known to Jiang Feng." Sima Yi replied.

"Got it? No, didn't you say that all the scouts in the watchtowers along the road have been dealt with? Is there a fish that slips through the net? ”

"There are so few scouts in a watchtower, only two or three scouts in a watchtower, so it's very easy for me to track down. But when we arrived in the city of Qining, I found a large number of scouts, and it was difficult to track their location. ”

"Why is this happening?"

"I guess it's Peicheng's scouts, they're not ordinary shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but well-trained high-level scouts. Think about back then, you also know how strong Peicheng's foundation was. If it weren't for the mutiny within Peicheng, this city would not have been so easily subsumed into Jiangzhi's forces. ”

"And then? Can you get to the point? Breaking the Sky said anxiously.

"I guess the scouts are reporting the situation to Peicheng, which means that Peicheng is already preparing for defense."

"That's just Pei Cheng knows, Jiang Feng doesn't know yet, right? Isn't Jiang Feng in the imperial capital? ”

"No, Jiang Feng is no longer in the imperial capital, because I can actually divinate almost the entire imperial capital. This shows that Jiang Feng is not there, and Song Yuan is not there. ”

"What? When did this happen? ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know. As we traveled south, I put a lot of my abilities on the scry tower and the scout. It's impossible for me to keep an eye on things in all regions all the time, so I don't know when Jiang Feng left the imperial capital. There is a possibility that Jiang Feng has already arrived in Peicheng and even knows our plan. ”

"What kind of are you doing, Sima Yi, this is different from what you said before. You clearly said that we could sneak up on Peicheng without knowing the ghosts, so I got on this thief ship. Breaking Sky said excitedly.

In the face of the other leaders' unkindness to Sima Yi, Xia Yashuang couldn't bear it: "Breaking the sky, can you not get excited." The soothsayer is also a human being, he is not a god, it is impossible to divination everywhere, and it is impossible to calculate everything. ”

"Yes...... But before Sima Yi clearly said that attacking Peicheng would be nine out of ten, but if Jiang Feng knew it now, he would definitely do a good job of defense. ”

"Are you scared by Jiang Feng? What if he knew? It is a fact that more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Peicheng have already been transferred to Wangcheng by Su Koye. Peicheng's current strength is only 100,000, of which more than half are recruits. Even Jiang Feng couldn't rely on this bit of troops to defend the city, after all, we came prepared this time. Xia Yashuang said unceremoniously.

"Are you too confident? Who is Jiang Feng, since he already knows it, he will definitely have a way to deal with it. ”

"You don't want to mythologize Jiang Feng. First of all, it is impossible for the imperial capital's troops to move south, otherwise what will happen to the tens of millions of gray people? Thor's remnant army numbered tens of thousands, and now it must be under the ground of the imperial capital, and it may be ready to do something at any time. As for the strength of Wangcheng, it is impossible to go north, after all, the US troops have not yet withdrawn. In other words, even if they go north, it will take several days, and it will be too late. Then I'll talk about Jiang Feng himself, yes, he himself is indeed very strong, but what can he do? We can use the most common shield-armor to drain his abilities and stamina. And those of us are basically superpowers, just hide in the shadows and cast their abilities. ”

Xia Yashuang said at this time, making Pokong react. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case, even if Jiang Feng is the strongest in Yan Huang, as long as he doesn't confront him head-on.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, there are many tactics to speak of, and if it really starts, the soldier is the most basic unit. And Peicheng, what is lacking is precisely soldiers.

"Okay, I was really excited, so let's get back to the topic, what do we do now?" Breaking Sky asked.

"I mean, we have to act as soon as possible, and we can't give Peicheng time to prepare."

"Are you sure? Our army has not had time to sleep peacefully in the past few days, and now we have finally arrived at Qining City, and we will directly attack Peicheng without resting? ”

"That's right, from Qining City to Peicheng, march with all your might, and it will only take a few hours to get to the north gate of Peicheng. The sooner you attack, the better. Sima Yi replied.

"Fatigue fighting, is it really suitable?" There are still some worries about breaking the air.

"The soldiers are fast, we can't delay. If it goes well, we will be able to capture Peicheng today. Let the soldiers be enlightened, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent. Sima Yi said solemnly.

"Snow, what do you think?"

"I also think that the military has a point, we can't give Peicheng time to prepare, the sooner the attack, the better."

"Well, since you all think so, I can't help it."

In this way, the summoning order of Qi Ning City kept ringing.

Many soldiers had just fallen asleep and were now awakened by the sound of the calling horn and bells. The whole army was full of complaints.

After the assembly, several leaders began to give speeches to their soldiers, instilling chicken soup for the soul.

Some people can listen to it, and some people can't listen to it at all. But those who can't listen can only keep their complaints in their hearts, because the leaders have already given an order, and whoever dares to say half a word of complaint will be directly served by military law.

There are two ways to manage the military, one is to educate and brainwash, and the other is to impose strict laws.

The effect of education and brainwashing is often better than that of harsh laws, and a highly conscious soldier who knows how to be loyal and honest can do well even if he does not need to be constrained by strict laws. But this elite soldier is a minority after all, and most of the soldiers need to be regulated by decree.

There is another thing that can also affect the motivation of soldiers, and that is the general trend.

What's the general trend? This thing is complicated and complex, and simple is simple. For example, when a country is invaded, the soldiers will be more brave and more fearless of sacrifice and death, because they will feel that it is sacrificing. There is another analogy, that is, to invade the enemy, the soldiers will also be very heroic for the sake of profit, for promotion and wealth.

Of course, there is also a reverse trend, and that is that this kind of battle cannot be recognized by the general public.

And among the Xia Breaking Alliance, there are many soldiers like this, they actually do not approve of the forces invading the river.

First of all, everyone knows Jiang Zhi's forces, and they also know Jiang Feng's deeds. Everyone knows that such a war of aggression will be very risky. This is tantamount to a rat gnawing on an elephant, and one will be trampled to death if one is not careful.

Secondly, there are many soldiers who join the forces of Xia Yashuang, Sky Breaking, and Night Dancing Snow for a purpose, and some of them have impure motives. Jiang Zhi's power is vast and talented, but there are too many people and the competition is too fierce. Many people joined the forces of Eno, but they received very little benefit. There are still many people who feel that the power in Jiang Zhi cannot be played at all, after all, the competition is too fierce, and there is a feeling that heroes are useless.

But it's different to join Xia Yashuang and the others, they are all very rich forces, especially Xia Yashuang, who runs a poison quenching business, which can be described as a rich party. More critically, they have a shortage of talent and little competitive pressure.

If the soldiers' salaries and food are abundant, they will attract people to join, which is why Xia Yashuang and the others are fighting more and more.

Then some people may say, since Xia Yashuang is rich, why can't the army continue to rise?

Because there is always a saturation point reached.

Xia Yashuang only has two cities, and the cake is limited, so Xia Yashuang's ability to reach 100,000 troops is already the limit. This is also why Xia Yashuang finally decided to take the risk of attacking Peicheng, because Peicheng's cake is too big.

Once Peicheng is occupied, not only Xia Yashuang, but also Breaking the Sky, Night Dancing Snow and others can obtain huge benefits, and they can directly expand their army significantly.

Everyone understands the truth, even the most ordinary soldiers. However, the soldiers are not stupid, they know that Jiang Zhi's power has a strong foundation. Even though it has experienced several major wars, even if it has suffered a great loss of vitality, it is an ironclad fact that the power of the river is still the most powerful force in the east of the river.

Even if they paid a huge price to occupy Peicheng, wouldn't Jiang Zhi's forces take it back?

The soldiers' concerns were also taken into account by the Breaking Sky. However, Sima Yi assured that after capturing Peicheng, Jiang Feng would never take it back, because Sol would release the virus within two days. Even Jiang Feng didn't know this information.

But Sima Yi's prophecy can't be told to a soldier. If every creep knew, the news would have spread. If there is a traitor and the news is spread, Jiang Feng will know this information. In this way, Jiang Feng might directly abandon the base area of the Imperial Palace and lead all his troops south.
